Mrs. LL's brother visited over the weekend and brought two high end drones with him. They were equipped with hi-def cameras and had a range of four miles. They were equally creepy and fantastic.

Heard over the weekend: "Marriage changes people."

How come firework technology has not improved? (Side note: Nothing was more fun than "bottle rocket fights" as a kid. Having to duck as one goes screaming at your head was one of life's greatest joys. Side note #2: The Ticket reminded me of the firework term "punk" this morning. I hadn't heard that term in years. You always needed a punk.)

Random Wise County PSA:

A North Dallas teacher and her husband were found dead due to gunshot wounds on a New Mexico road. She posted this a couple of days before.

When President Trump posts a bit of humor (in this case body slamming CNN WWF style he is "mentally unstable"?

But when BSG posts this never ending blog bit of humor, you are a genius?

Yea right. What a joke.

Sure Trump is arrogant and egotistical so what. He hates PC and the hypocritical socialist media, which is the alt left incarnate. He is smart and loves this country, which means (more times than not) he will fall on the side of conservatism.

I have to make the drive from the tip of S Texas to Idaho for work quite often- the two areas I dread the most is S Texas and New Mexico. There is a common denominator there- and they both resemble each other save the natural terrain. New Mexico has stifling gun laws as far as being able to travel defensively- but the old adage about being tried by twelve rather than carried by six holds true in New Mexico- it is rough.

Here it is 11:00 and you haven't listed any posts. Are you taking the day off? Is your office filled with illegals needing your help with their DUI cases? Out chasing ambulances? Kayaking making a statement about resisting Trump? Playing with your brother in law's drones?

Niall Ferguson, a British historian and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution in Stanford, California, said in May: “I think one of the things Guardian readers, and their counterparts on the American coasts, don’t want to think about is the possibility that despite his obvious ineptitude, Trump might actually be successful.

“I said last summer to a bunch of liberal friends: ‘Your worst nightmare is not a Trump presidency; it’s a successful Trump presidency.’ The successful Trump presidency scenario is one in which, despite it all, the economy does better thanks to deregulation and tax cuts, foreign policy delivers some big wins on North Korea, the Middle East.

“It doesn’t take an awful lot for a president to start looking good. If the expectations start really low, which they have done, it may be one win, and I definitely don’t rule out a kind of ‘success in spite of himself’ scenario. And then you begin to wonder if a left-of-Clinton Democrat in 2020 would be blown away."

One description I read bears paying attention to: Trump's not presidential but it looks like he is beginning to redefine what it means to be presidential. He’s not going to take attacks lying down but he’s going stand up for himself and give it back.

I'm not sure he is standing up for himself. Appears he just whines, cries, & stomps his feet. Then he name calls because he can't thin of anything intelligent to say. Hmmm, sounds like a 6th grade bully or cry baby.

"He's not acting presidential" - I thought the same of Bill Clinton. Obama's behavior since leaving office is not in line with that of previous presidents; i.e., "not presidential."

Trump is doing things differently, that's for sure. But since he IS the president, his behavior is by definition "presidential." You may not like how he acts, but he's refused to conform to the previous set of rules that automatically put Republicans on the defensive. He's counter-attacking rather than passively taking the blows.

Is it effective? He's got the Liberal media in an uproar and off balance. Democrats have lost every morsel of rationality, along with their credibility. The Russian "controversy" is, as Van Jones said, "a big nothing-burger." The Democrats' desperation is marked by how strongly they cling to this phantasm. So in all these senses, Trump's methods are effective.

I understand your bitterness. All his boorishness, all his pettiness, along with every conspiracy you guys can cook up, and still he's president. Despite your best efforts you just can't get him out of office.

He's not a traditional politician so he doesn't understand that as a Republican he's supposed to take his beatings without fighting back. I don't know how you guys get to sleep at night. God help you if the country starts doing better.
